Time remaining, eleven seconds.

The end of the Sen Luo Labyrinth, under the ninety-nine steps.

Sima Yi only felt as if he was in a world of absolute stillness.

There is only thought, which is not stopped by time.

And everything around is wrapped in dark blue energy.

Philosopher.

Sima Yi thought of this mysterious profession of the old calendar.

But it doesn't seem to be the same.

"I may have been taken care of, otherwise I wouldn't have felt it when time stopped."

Because it takes time to think, and it takes time to feel.

"Damn, Qin Ze's kid...... What the hell are you doing now? ”

"Why did this chance fall on him?"

"Is it because of Nuwa?"

Although he was in the Senluo Labyrinth, and there was a seventh-value god not far away, Sima Yi was not panicked at the moment.

That fear is completely gone.

He only thinks about one thing now - what is Qin Ze doing?

Obviously, in his consciousness, more than a minute had passed.

This means that the guy summoned by the mask uses some kind of time-based ability.

And they didn't use this ability to kill the gods......

Sima Yi naturally thought of it - it would probably not take time for the other party to kill the god of value.

What level of existence does this have to be?

Jealousy made Sima Yi's heart like 100,000 ants crawling.

……

……

The real world, uncharted seas.

When Qin Ze's figure appeared on the deck of the huge sea vessel, he frowned slightly.

[This is the ...... The real world? 】

"Yes, there's a very important person here, but it looks like he's hiding."

Qin Ze, who was talking to himself, said.

This made Edward Kenway, who was carrying the lamp, a little puzzled.

"Who are you?"

The Ancestor of the Old Calendar only glanced at Edward Kenway's lamp.

The Soul Gathering Lamp went out in an instant.

Edward Kenway was shocked and wanted to do something, but unexpectedly found ......

The thought seemed to be some kind of huge offense.

"Guy with a keen sense of smell. Hidden. Qin Ze, there are really not many things I can do for you, there are many opportunities, you have already relied on your own ability, or rely on your friends and lovers to trigger them. ”

"You have friends to envy and great partners. But correspondingly, the calamity you have to face is also very strong. ”

Edward Kenway still heard Qin Ze's two words.

But in the next second, the hand of the ancestor of the old calendar fell on Edward Kenway's forehead.

There is a feeling that the immortal caresses me.

"The lantern bearer will help you at a critical moment."

The Soul Gathering Lamp is back on.

Edward Kenway's eyes were also unguarded.

Qin Ze didn't understand what the ancestors of the old calendar were doing at all.

He didn't know what was on this ship, and what was the existence that was hiding.

Qin Ze felt that he should talk to the ancestor of the old calendar.

[We're counting this...... Back in the real world? 】

"Yes. We don't have much time left, and the last thing I can do is kill the gods. ”

The ancestors of the old calendar stood with their hands in their hands, walking on the deck, feeling the sea breeze.

Edward Kenway waited respectfully like a servant.

Qin Ze could feel that his body at the moment could probably do anything.

It's a pity that men's regrets don't always last.

At this time, the two of them already have a slight sense of separation.

"There are many treasures from the old calendar, and some of them can indeed change the situation on the chessboard."

"But it's not the point."

"Qin Ze, there are still many things you have to do, the era of belonging to the advance has passed, the old calendar is above all else, remember this sentence......"

"Appropriate, taboo, this is the code I set with the ancestors of the old calendar."

[Why do you have such a code?] Is there a possibility that the taboos that are refreshed every day will be manipulated? 】

Qin Ze has always wanted to know the answer to this question.

"No, different careers, and different choices, will lead to different directions. Neither I nor the god of corruption shall interfere. ”

"The taboo of the old calendar will eventually screen out many participants in the war of the old calendar."

"It is actually you who influence everything that is appropriate, or everything that is appropriate, or any specific behavior."

"Of course, there is a will in this world, but that is not mine...... I'm on the weak side. ”

And the final calendar screened out the combatants...... There are those who are willing to help the corrupt gods, and there may be those who are willing to help me. ”

[In other words, you ...... now Fighting against that God? 】

"I check and balance it. The value of God and the fall of God are both its forces. Part of it is the gods in the pantheon of the last era. It's just that the dynasty has changed and the name has changed. ”

"Like the god of confusion and confusion that you are about to kill. Now, its name is the Seventh God Labyrinth Lord. ”

Qin Ze somewhat understood, indeed, everything was as the ancestor of the old calendar said, and it really made no sense to dwell on history now.

The war between the ancestors of the old calendar, the victory or defeat of the second battle of the old calendar, is the key.

The first ancestor of the Old Calendar, as a vessel for the god of corruption, has now been reduced to the god of corruption.

Its chess pieces contain the corrupted world of the old calendar, which is degraded and worth gods.

They will continue to shrink the living space of those who belong to the old calendar.

Use weird rules to whisper and turn the old calendar into old calendar creatures.

And the second ancestor of the old calendar, the one he summoned himself-

It dominates with other old calendars, establishing a relatively weak side on the chessboard.

The masters of the old calendar turned their will into the treasures of the old calendar and left them elsewhere.

Now, it seems, these treasures are not the most critical.

They're just in the beginning, and they're going to give you a boost.

If you want to enter the real chess game, you may have to be like the team leader, and you must be down-to-earth and make taboos.

What the Old Ancestor No. 2 did was to create a world, the so-called real world, which replicated the human world before the catastrophe.

He is betting on the descendants of mankind, who will come out of the chessboard and enter the stage of playing chess players.

That is, in the Second Old Calendar War, the new partner.

Indeed, the mood of the ancestors of the old calendar was clearly very good.

When he found out that he didn't really need to do what he wanted to do—

He can clearly feel that this world is not inferior to the next.

So, the penultimate thing he did was to come to the deck of this huge cruise ship to leave an "escape exit" for future catastrophes.

Now, he's done it.

"Among the value gods, the weakest is the seventh value god, once the maze is broken, it is nothing."

"To break through the labyrinth, you have used a lot of external forces, such as the mechanical family."

"But it's also a skill to be able to borrow external forces."

"I'll kill the Seventh Rank God, but that's all I can do."

"The sixth god to the second god are extremely troublesome characters. Then you have to expel them one by one. ”

Qin Ze noticed that the ancestor of the old calendar deliberately did not mention the first value god.

[What about the first gods? 】

"The Immortal Lord is a being that is significantly higher than other gods. If the Immortal Lord does not die, there will be a new second to seventh gods. ”

"It's just a matter of time. When you are qualified to challenge the Immortal King...... Perhaps the war of the old calendar has already begun. ”

Speaking of this, the ancestor of the old calendar paused slightly, and said with a smile:

"I'm looking forward to that day, fellow travellers, and don't keep me waiting too long."

Although many of his companions have died, many of his bonds have been completely reduced to history......

Although he seems to have lost everything, he still decides to move forward, and when faced with the god of corruption, he chooses to divide a large part of his power to create a world where humans can live.

Qin Ze suddenly felt that this guy was actually very lonely.

He was the real forerunner and went to the front, losing almost everything he could lose along the way.

In the end, he chose to be at the front, waiting for the latecomers.

But will there really be a latecomer? Even he himself said that the Old Calendar would screen out those who would participate in the next war of the Old Calendar, but among those people, there were those who were willing to help the corrupt gods, and those who were willing to help the ancestors of the Old Calendar were only likely to appear.

This ancestor of the old calendar actually has a pessimistic attitude, right?

When the war really began, he found that there was no one around him...... How lonely it must have been.

Perhaps it was because of absolute loneliness that after meeting Qin Ze and discovering that Qin Ze had already completed something...... Feel so happy.

"I have two more things to do, but the next thing has nothing to do with you. Allow me...... Wayward once. ”

[I'm ready to travel. 】

The masked man snapped his fingers again, and the figure disappeared from the deck.

The lantern man seemed to have a dream, and he woke up from the big dream with a blank face.

Soon after, he carried the lamp and walked towards the inside of the boat. It's like going deep into hell to meet the demon king in hell.

……

……

Linxiang City.

The penultimate stop of the journey is a familiar place for Qin Ze.

In the Youke New Town community, Qin Ze, who was wearing a mask, suddenly appeared downstairs in his house.

He didn't know what point in time it was, Aunt Wang and Uncle Zhou had already returned from the Old Calendar Prison.

And judging from the content of the game played by Aunt Wang, it should be Elden Ring DLC Golden Tree Shadow, obviously, this is not the current time node.

There was suddenly an extra person in the room, which startled the second elder.

"Xiao Qin, is that you? Why are you wearing a mask, oh, yes, yes......"

To Qin Ze's surprise, although the second elder was startled, he also accepted the reality of Qin Ze's arrival at the speed of light.

And seems to understand the reason why Qin Ze wears a mask.

This made Qin Ze puzzled.

"Hey, poor boy, don't worry, I don't believe what is said outside!"

"The people from the company came to me twice in three days, and I drove them away!"

"Have you eaten? I asked Lao Zhou to give you a bowl of noodles? ”

Aunt Wang kept nagging, and for some reason, she suddenly saw Qin Ze and felt a sense of closeness.

There were before, but now it's more intense.

She couldn't say this feeling, but she just wanted to hug Qin Ze.

This time, Xiao Qin's reputation is not very good, and she doesn't know what happened.

Qin Ze was even more stunned.

[What about Aunt Wang's words...... Doesn't sound right? What happened to me in the future? 】

"It's all necessary, it's just a small problem. Don't care. ”

The ancestor of the old calendar suddenly spoke, not only to explain to Qin Ze, but also to Aunt Wang.

Although there are many people in this world...... It's self-created.

But the ancestors of the old calendar never felt that these people were "NPCs".

He said that there are no NPCs in this world.

For the last ten seconds, he left time to himself.

In order to meet my parents.

"I want to hug you."

"Of course that's good, kid! You must have suffered a lot of grievances these days. ”

"Yes, I've walked a long way and I'm a little tired, but I'd love to see you."

Qin Ze's body, hugging Aunt Wang. At this moment, Qin Ze suddenly thought of something.

It turns out that this is the anchor point of the ancestors of the old calendar......

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Qin Ze experienced a duel with the god of stitching.

And the god of stitching sewed the parents of the ancestors of the old calendar.

That is, in real history...... The parents of the ancestors of the old calendar no longer exist.

But he still created such two people.

"I want to hug you too." The ancestor of the old calendar looked at Zhou Zeshui, who didn't speak much on the side, but was a little at a loss.

Because in Zhou Zeshui's eyes, "Qin Ze" at this time is very dangerous.

Although he doesn't believe in some things either, but what if?

But when "Qin Ze" made this request, Zhou Zeshui still readily agreed.

When he was also hugging, he patted Qin Ze on the shoulder:

"When you are tired, you rest, the road will always be finished."

"Thanks, I'll remember."

Finally, the Ancestors of the Old Calendar are leaving.

Qin Ze could feel that the sense of happiness and satisfaction that came from the bottom of his heart even affected himself.

"Love your mother, Dad, goodbye. I'm about to start a new journey. ”

With a snap of his fingers, the figure vanished.

It was all like a dream.

Aunt Wang stayed where she was, and there were tears in her eyes for some time:

"He just ...... Call me what? ”

Zhou Zeshui also suspected that he had misheard and did not answer.

After a long time, Zhou Zeshui sighed:

"Xiao Qin, what a good boy."

……

……

The last leg of the journey is over.

Time remaining – one second.

Qin Ze suddenly thought that it would be good if Sima Yi could hold on a little longer.

But then I felt ...... Sima Yi has already done a good job.

Anyone else is doing this, and it doesn't necessarily last a minute.

At this time, the scene has changed, and it has returned to the end of the Senluo Labyrinth.

In the last second, Qin Ze saw his hand pressed on the face of the seventh value god.

[What level do I have to go before I can rely on my own ability to kill it head-on?] 】

Qin Ze asked this question.

"Climbing over the realm of heaven and man, you may have such power, but some things are difficult to say, and your trajectory can no longer be predicted......"

"It's like, no one believes that people who are not ghosts and gods can kill the gods."

"As I said, the old calendar is above all else, and in the world that I and the first ancestor of the old calendar co-created, there are many opportunities, and these chances may shape a stronger existence than us."

"So, don't dwell on the past, the era of the advance is over, and what you have to do now is to become the savior of the old era."

"It's time."

Zero seconds.

Qin Ze wanted to say something, but the mask ...... It's completely shattered.

His biggest and biggest hole card, summoning the savior, was used like that.

And the hand that held down the seventh god finally came to the touch.

It wasn't the touch of flesh and blood. Rather, it is the touch of sun-dried earth, which turns into powder when you pinch it gently.

Spikes.

The seventh god of the old calendar took less than a second in the sixty-one seconds of the arrival of the ancestor of the old calendar...... He's dead.

The swirling face was concretized, the shape changed, and everything was as the Great Being had said—altered.

The labyrinth began to crumble.

Sima Yi suddenly began to gasp violently, and his hands pressed against Qin Ze:

"You killed God!"

At this moment, Qin Ze realized that the control of his body had returned to him.

Sima Yi's expression of disbelief made Qin Ze feel ...... Everything was a bit of a trance.

This is the ancestor of the old calendar......

Those existences that are only qualified to fight after crossing the realm of heaven and earth by themselves, in the eyes of the other party, are mayflies that can be killed just by touching them.

Sima Yi suddenly held his head in his hands and curled up on the ground in some pain.

Half of the lost soul is back.

But the process, obviously, is painful.

Qin Ze also felt Lu Buwei's wail in his mind.

At this time, it may not be difficult to kill Sima Yi.

The labyrinth began to crumble, and cracks appeared in all the labyrinth scenes.

Qin Ze knew that if he didn't leave here quickly, the collapsed labyrinth would definitely stay here forever.

Qin Ze wanted to kill Sima Yi, but in the end, he still chose to help Sima Yi, who was in pain and was fusing the other half of his soul.

"Haven't you heard a word...... In troubled times...... Kill Our Lady first! Your kindness will only harm you. ”

Sima Yi was in pain, but he still rarely maintained a little sobriety.

He was held up by Qin Ze miserably and said such a sentence.

Qin Ze sneered:

"Come on, what I'm struggling with is not whether to kill you morally, but whether you have the value of surviving in terms of interests."

"It's a big deal to kill the god of value, and now this matter, we've done it."

"You are a participant, and there must be a lot of rewards, so it's a pity to kill you."

When Sima Yi heard this, he stubbornly withstood the pain of tearing his soul and squeezed out a smile:

"You're so much fun...... Qin Ze. But you won't feel ...... So that will allow me to join forces with you, right? ”

Qin Ze smiled:

"As I said, you're the participant, and I'm the one who kills. When you see the great rewards in your calendar, you should understand that I have more than you ......."

"Sima Yi, aren't people like us all gambling on the future?"

This sentence obviously hit Sima Yi. He was also really curious about what Qin Ze's reward would be.

At the same time, Qin Ze's words were very appetizing to him.

Yes, he is a person who bets on the future, and he believes that his current self is not the opponent of the five gods, the opponent of the first-class masters of the board of directors, and the opponent of those top killers in the killer world......

But in the future, who will be able to get to the top of the chessboard, and who knows?

Killing the god of value is just the beginning of this story.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in too much pain, he would probably laugh wildly.

The two of them held on to each other and escaped from the collapsed labyrinth as fast as they could.

The ninety-nine steps began to crumble, like a burned platform.

The corrupt throne, reduced to a black pile of sewage, flowed down the shattered platform.

All this is announced - the prelude to the war of the old calendar has slowly begun.

The seventh god, the Lord of the Labyrinth, died at the hands of humans on this day.
